    Its raining ducks!! Ha, ha, ha! So cute!!! This just proves that ducks can count, especially mother ducks! Absolutely adorable creatures, warms the heart so see them paddling frantically, close to Mum. I cannot imagine how 23 ducks + Mum can fit into this tiny box!

    That one at 7:12 that was catching up, kicked so hard it was picking up out the water. Reminds me of a muscle car popping up on two wheels during take off. I don't understand how people can hunt these beautiful creatures. Thanks a lot to responsible hunters and conservationists for helping to bring these marvelous animals back from the brink. It's a hard life for ducks and ducklings.

    • @JanusHoW
      @JanusHoW 3 года назад

      Hate to ruin the joke, but it's all instinct. When mama makes that soft, pulsing call, the babies immediately start trying to find her - and seeing that the only way out is the hole mama went through, that's where they go. Thankfully, the humans who build these nest boxes generally provide some wire fencing on the walls for the ducklings to grip.

    Thanks for posting. Love the little tiny babies. The wood ducks bring their babies and they climb on a float tied up to the houseboat. I've even had them on the swim platform of the boat. She'll rest her babies there until I come out and feed them. So cute! I've made friend with the male wood duck too. Two are named and will come when I call their name. In the fall, the males are the most beautiful ducks I've ever seen. They look like velvet. And just like they know when hunting season begin they disappear. Do I have repeat ducks from the year before? I think so...but have no way of knowing for sure. It warms my heart that you care enough to share your duck love.

    I saw a mom and her (roughly) ten babies cross a street in our subdivision going from one pond to another the other day. So-o cute. I know for a fact that there are snappers in both ponds, so it's quite possible all of those babies won't make it. That's nature. Thanks for this video.

      sometimes more than one duck decide to lay eggs on the same nest. in this case, one decides to brood on it while others never return. Although i dont know how they decide and how they communicate..

      Too many nest boxes too close together. If 1 hen sees another box where another hen is sitting she'll lay eggs in it also
